Mana'o Monday - Nutrition

Aloha ‘Ohana - it's Mana’o Monday here at Ko’olauloa. Here are a few dietary thoughts and tips from our staff to help your your brain healthy and kick start your week. 

• Green Veggies: Leafy greens suck as kale, spinach, collards, and broccoli are rich in brain-healthy nutrients. Research suggests these plant-based food may help slow cognitive decline.

• Fatty Fish: Fatty fish are abundant sources of omega-3 fatty acids, healthy unsaturated fats that have been linked to lower blood levels of beta-amyloid (the protein that forms damaging clumps in the brains of people with Alzheimer’s disease).

• Berries: Flavonoids, the natural plant pigments that give berries their brilliant hues, also help improve memory.

• Tea & Coffee: Tea and coffee might offer more than just a short-term concentration boost.

• Walnuts: Nuts are excellent sources of protein and healthy fats. Walnuts in particular might also improve memory.

And above all else, new research has found that coronavirus attacks fat tissue, so maintaining a healthy diet is important to all of us. If you would like to make an appointment with our Clinical Dietitian or to schedule your booster shot, please call (808) 293-9231 today.
